edible schoolyard garden educator
Located in the cultural district of downtown Greensboro, the Greensboro Children’s Museum welcomes children, caregivers, and teachers of all backgrounds and abilities to explore and learn in 20+ hands-on indoor and outdoor exhibits, including The Edible Schoolyard (ESY), a half-acre teaching garden. The garden and kitchen classroom were established in 2010 as a founding program of the Edible Schoolyard Project, a nonprofit started by food activist and restaurateur Alice Waters. The Greensboro Children’s Museum uses a seed-to-table philosophy whereby kids and families learn about the systems through which food is grown, harvested, prepared, and shared as a meal. By giving kids a greater knowledge of and connection to what they eat, we inspire them to make better choices for their health and the health of their communities.

The Greensboro Children’s Museum has been the place for children and families to explore, play, and learn together in our community for more than 20 years! As we prepare to reopen our doors, we are looking for talented and enthusiastic individuals to join our team and work to help families safely return to hands-on fun and experience the power of play. If you have experience in informal education or hospitality or are interested in building these skills, please consider applying today.
